Holy Week is the most sacred and meaningful time in the Christian year, when we journey with Jesus from the joy of Palm Sunday through the solemn remembrance of the cross and into the celebration of the Resurrection. At St. Francis, we offer a variety of worship services and gatherings throughout the week to help you enter more deeply into this story of love, sacrifice, and new life.
Whether you are a longtime member of our parish or simply looking for a place to celebrate this holy season, you are warmly invited to join us. We especially hope you will celebrate Easter Sunday with us as we gather in joy and hope to proclaim the good news: Christ is risen!
Below you’ll find the full schedule of Holy Week and Easter services and events. All are welcome.
